I had the pleasure of working with the mother of the bride for these wedding dessert tables. Like me she was raised Italian, so we both understand the concept of “abbondanza,” or the necessity for abundance with food and dessert.

healthier banana bread and muffins
My favorite recipe for comfort food in the form of banana bread is right here! Over the years at home, I’ve played with too many of these recipes to count. Most of them were trying to be healthier-made for myself and my family. This is the first time I’ve perfected a recipe worthy of sharing, that is practically fat-free, and can also be classically, or both vegan and gluten free, and still come out better than excellent. One of the ingredient-versions is literally the best banana bread I’ve ever made. Yes! It’s that good!

vegan ice cream for breakfast, with three simple ingredients
It’s summer time, and I like to make it easy and fun. For kids of any age, and all year-round, breakfast is definitely more fun when it’s labeled “ice cream.”
This recipe feels right and tastes even better. It’s banana-based, dairy-free (and vegan), with no added processed sugars. It’s a way for to pretend I’m serving ice cream for breakfast, made with three simple ingredients.
